Description

Moonblood is of course probably primarily known for their dedication to kvlt practices like releasing only tapes and vinyl and also releasing many rehearsals with varied productions. This is their first full length release (though most rehersals are the length of an album), and is probably their best, as the later release ‘Taste Our German Steel’, featured a different sound with a more straight forward black metal approach and with an annoying drum sound. On this the production is pretty much perfect for underground black metal, with drums lower in the mix and highlighting the guitars and vocals. The vocals themselves are between Nocturno Culto and Darken, a kind of rasping croak that at times goes into a harsher scream. They are effective, although not exactly the best I have heard. The guitar riffs are much more complex then most would give credit to, and they have nice differences. Some have a more lead approach with folky otherworldly riffs that stretch on for a while, while others have a more epic Graveland-eque feeling, and yet others are more of the punky type sound. The best in my opinion are the folkier more emotional riffs, which have a much better feeling with the production. When they attempt the Graveland epic riffs the murky production unfortunately doesn't work as well, though the atmosphere is still felt. Moonblood seems to be going for a more medieval war-like feeling on this release, and they suceed fairly well, particularly when you can hear highlighting riffs, and I can imagine that perhaps with a better production the more Viking elements would have worked perfectly. As it is, while excellent this release has many faults, which is unfortunately what one generally feels about nearly every Moonblood release. Despite this, this album often succeeds, and is perhaps their best release as it brings images of death and war to a listeners mind. Track listing: 1. Intro: Midnight 2.
